Did you try last week’s recipe? I’d love to know what you thought! I’m always on the look out for new, family friendly, healthy recipes so if you have one, will you leave a link in the comments so I can pin it to try later?
Today’s recipe is another “go-to” for me out of the new Fixate cookbook because I LOVE dessert, and this one makes brownies feel guilt-free (though I actually prefer to make them as muffins). If you love it & want to try more recipes, you can grab a copy of it here.

I have a healthy dessert that only has 2 ingredients: 1 large can of crushed pineapple and 1 box of angel food cake mix. Mix in large bowl, pour into a 13×9 inch pan and bake for 30 min at 350 degrees. You can sprinkle the top of the cake with powdered sugar, mix light whipped cream with a container of pineapple yogurt and spread on top, or just eat the cake plain. It is very moist and yummy
